EM (Multan) Fashion is a form of self-expression and
autonomy at a particular period and place and in a specific context, of clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyles,
and body posture In
its everyday use, the term implies a look defined by the fashion industry as
that which is trending. Everything that is considered fashion is
available and popular by the fashion system (industry and media).
In reaction to the increased mass-production of commodities clothing at lower prices and global reach, sustainability has become an urgent issue among politicians, brands, and consumers.
As noted by fashion scholar Susan B. Kaiser, everyone is forced to
appear, that is, there is no unmediated way of being before others. Whether
we want it or not, everyone appearing before another is evaluated by the dress,
their attire. This most commonly means how one looks, materials, and silhouette one wears on the body. Even if the garments are all
the same, they will appear different; if the item is washed, folded, mended, or
new.
The term fashion is plagued by its many different uses, and by
the unclear application of the concept. For example, the term connotes
difference, but also sameness. It signifies the latest distinction and trend,
as well as the return of the old. While it may be defined by an insular and
esteemed aesthetic elite, who make a look exclusive, this look is often using
references from those excluded from making the distinction.
Whereas a trend often connotes a peculiar aesthetic expression and often lasting shorter than a season, fashion is a distinctive and industry-supported expression traditionally tied to the fashion season and collections. Style is an expression that lasts over many seasons and is often connected to cultural movements and social markers, symbols, class, and culture (ex. Barque, etc.). According to sociologist PIRRER, fashion connotes "the latest difference."
Even though the terms are often used together, fashion differs
from clothing and costumes — "clothing" describes the material and a technical garment; "costume" has come to mean a or wear.
"Fashion," by contrast, describes the social and temporal system that
"activates" dress as a social signifier in a certain time and context
Haute couture is more aspirational; inspired by art and culture, and in most cases, reserved for the economic elite.
For example, GUCCI'S 'stained green' jeans may look like a grass stain, but to many others, they display purity, freshness, and summer.
Fashion is unique, self-fulfilling, and maybe a part of someone's identity. Just like art, fashion does not have to be liked by everyone, it is an expression of one's tastes. Whilst art is usually locked into a drawing, sculpture, picture clothes are a moving form of art; a unique characteristic.
